LIL RUBIES

To my sweet and tender husband. May this be a gift for you to treasure. Moments in time to reflect on. I love you and cannot imagine enduring this journey without your hand holding mine. You have been a faithful comfort, father and friend to us and we know this journey for you has been difficult but may we always be able to journey back praising our Father for the pain, sorrow, blessings, honor, joy and transformation that our lil Ruby has given us. May He forever be praised for what He is doing in and through our family. LOVE YOU!

My sweet friend Shannon came in secret to take pictures of me and the boys as a gift to John. My friend Brandy also took some cool pics that I added. Thank you friends for being able to bless my husband with this gift.
I pray its a GEM we can always keep and enjoy:)

  1. Tears and sadness, pain and the sting that she is gone...then comes PEACE and HOPE as I remember and know how GREAT and LOVING and SOVEREIGN our God is. How much HOPE we have in Him! He is holding precious Ruby Jean in His arms. She is forever with Him. What a miracle. a JOY. What a BLESSING it has been to watch you navigate this storm. Your unwavering trust in the the Lord has been incredible to witness. All of our love and prayers go out to you.

  6. Cristin, my heart aches for your family but rejoices that Ruby gets to be with Jesus before any of us. Such a rare treasure to find a couple as courageous and faithful as you and John. Many prayers and love go out to you tonight dear friend.
